After the master spoke, Qingque had no choice but to move aside and let Yingwu come forward as well.

The two of them worked together to safely put the pendulum clock, which was more than half a meter high, into the carriage.

Seeing that they had visited all the places they needed to visit, Xirui didn't plan to stay any longer and led everyone back in the direction they came from.

But Yinzhen still refused to give up.

Along the way, he kept pestering Xirui, wanting to get his pocket watch in advance.

"Okay, Xiaoqi, it doesn't matter if you give it to me sooner or later. What's wrong with letting Brother Jiu pick one first?" Since I've come along on this trip, I should get some benefits, right?

Yinzhen was still making trouble persistently.

Xirui didn't even give him any more glances, but just walked while quickly explaining the subsequent shipment issues to Li Zhuang.

"We don't need to worry about the subsequent distribution, but the quantity and quality of shipments still need to be controlled. You still need to keep an eye on these." Xirui has now officially shown his face in front of his subordinates, and he no longer needs to convey any instructions through others.

Li Zhuang was trying his best at this moment to leave a good impression on his boss.

He agreed repeatedly, "Don't worry, Boss. Our men are used to this job and won't make any mistakes."

The things in these small courtyards are the result of a long period of experimentation.

Craftsmen everywhere have become skilled and are less likely to make mistakes.

"That's good." Xirui was still relieved.

After all, the people in this village were all carefully selected and had signed a death contract.

To put it bluntly, the lives of this family, young and old, are in her hands. I don't think they would dare to fool her.

The few of them returned along the same route and soon arrived at the entrance of the manor.

The several carriages they had taken when they arrived were parked here.

Xirui stopped in front of the carriage, but was not in a hurry to start the journey home. Instead, he turned around and looked at the farm that was full of his expectations.

Seeing that the operations in the farm and the courtyard were in good order, Xirui knew that this must have been inseparable from Xue Jing's management.

She was not the kind of person who didn't know how to reward and punish, so she looked at him and asked, "Thank you for your care over the years, Master Xue. Is there anything you want?"

She could find it and give it to him as a reward.

"Anything is fine?" Xue Jing's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that.

The depressed mood on the road just now was swept away, and the sunflower regained its vitality like a sunflower that has regained the sunshine.

Now, it was Xirui who was forced not to look the other person in the eye.

She keenly noticed something from Xue Jing's changes and interrupted him in time, "Stop! Don't be anxious. Think it over and tell me."

This young man is hot-headed now, and who knows what he might say that will make people unable to respond.

Xirui doesn't dare to gamble.

He waved at him and no longer thought about looking at the farmland. He held the carriage frame and got into the carriage.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." If we go back now, maybe we can still catch lunch at home.

It just so happened that she also had something to discuss with her family, and it would be more convenient to do so while everyone was together during lunch.

Xirui ordered the people to set off as if he was fleeing in panic.

It was not until the curtains fell, blocking out the outside world's observation, that her violently beating heart calmed down a little.

"Princess, are you okay?" Qingque's eyes were full of worry.

Everything that happened after arriving in Suzhou Prefecture refreshed her cognition.

Especially things related to Xue Jing.

As the most personal maidservant to Xirui, she was totally unaware that someone close to her master was coveting her.

It was really her fault.

It was also her fault that she trusted the people around her master too much.

I thought I was doing this for my master, but who would have thought this man could have such hidden thoughts.

"Master, please have less contact with him in the future." Knowing that this is impossible, it is better to cut off all possibilities from the beginning.

Otherwise, you will be sad in the end.

Qingque comforted carefully.

Xirui blinked, and for a moment she couldn't figure out the purpose of her words.

"Xue Jing has been working with us for many years without any problems. Why do you suddenly want me to have less contact with him?"

Xirui, who had never experienced such an incident, had not yet realized that there was something unusual between herself and Xue Jing, but it had already been noticed by everyone around them.

It was her nonchalant attitude that made Qingque even more anxious, "He...he clearly has bad intentions!"

How could the master be deceived by him!

Qingque was so angry that he couldn't help but raise his voice.

Fortunately, the carriage had already started moving, and no one could hear what she said except Yingwu and Wuwu who were driving outside.

Xirui was stunned, and then his eyes became vague.

His tone also revealed a guilty conscience, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could he have bad intentions?"

The subconscious rebuttal not only failed to scare Qingque, but even failed to scare herself.

My mood, which was already a little flustered, could no longer be calmed down.

Xirui had no choice but to turn his face away, close his eyes and fall down, showing an attitude of refusing to communicate.

All the unfinished words that Qingque was going to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

"Oh my!" Qingque was extremely anxious, fearing that his master would have a wrong idea and ruin his life.

However, he was helpless because of her obvious lack of cooperation.

Until finally, she could only suppress her anger temporarily and went out to talk to the two people outside.

"Don't be too anxious. You have to believe the princess. She won't give her true heart to anyone so easily." As long as their princess doesn't have such intentions, it will be useless to let Xue Jing have any inferior thoughts in his mind.

"Anyway, our princess just thought it was fun here, and came to change the environment to relax. She will be back soon. By then, we will be far away, and we will see what trouble they can cause."

Yingwu was somewhat disapproving in his heart, but he couldn't bear to see Qingque so distressed, so he couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.

The two of them haven't been able to sit down and have a good chat since the argument over the things happening in his family.

Every time they met, Qingque was reluctant to give him a good face.

Yingwu had been filled with grievances for a long time and had no place to vent them.

The timing couldn't be more auspicious.

There was only so much space on the carriage that Qingque had nowhere to hide even if he wanted to.

But Yingwu kept pressing forward.

He threw the job of driving the cart to Wuwu and walked up to Qingque with a smile.
